I've lived her all my life never been until yesterday, it was the best time I had. Our guide on our elementary school trip was outstanding, she did a great job and even got close enough to the animals for us to hear them pure. If you come to Reno I recommend travels you won't be disappointed. I plan on going back again with my husband. Thanks animal Ark you guys were fantastic!

Had an amazing experience, volunteers were really friendly and helpful. We saw almost all the animals which was mentioned in the guide map. Great experience seeing tigresses but missing lion/lioness. We went after 12pm but still had a really good time but for better experience i would suggest going early morning. We are also planning to go again but next time we will definitely visit early in the morning.😅

A wonderful place to spend a day. It made me feel good to see all of those animals in great shape and they love the people who care for them. From staff to volunteers everyone there is making the world a better place and I will continue to keep coming back. It'll be nice to show my son these animals have dignity and it's thanks to these wonderful people.

The facilities are well laid out, and taken care of. The staff is dedicated, friendly and knowledgeable. It's a drive, but better for the critters that way, and worth it. The animals all have well designed spacious enclosures, as well as the signage is great. With all of them having covered viewing sheds, including the explanation for how each respective critter found itself there. They are all extremely well taken care of, and have continuously enrichment environments and enclosures. The facility is doing a great job, and good work. Take the drive to visit, it's worth it. Go early, check out the feedings for the bears at 10:30, and 11. As well as cooler mornings and the animals are more active.

What a wonderful experience we had at Animal Ark today! Try to arrive as soon as they open... the animals are most active & you can watch the bear feedings! You can see it all in less than an hour but I recommend taking your time when observing the animals... they're fascinating! The staff & volunteers are so great & informative. You can tell they really care for the animals. The jaguar is incredible, the wolves were very cool, & we found the raccoons & tortoises adorable! The animals look well taken care of & the enclosures are clean. Don't forget to stop at the gift shop & buy some snacks, drinks &/or souvenirs... all proceeds go toward the sanctuary & lord knows they need it! Those big cats can eat!
